Course Description
A fire extinguisher, or extinguisher, is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire department. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire.
In Canada, fire has contributed to numerous fatalities and injuries each year combined with a large dollar loss calculated to be in the millions. Proper training and use of a fire extinguisher can prepare you to effectively suppress small fires before they escalate to the point of injury and property loss.
This is a 4 hour fire extinguisher class in Calgary, with the first portion of the course spent in the classroom where a series of demonstrations are used to ensure that the participants fully understand the nature of fire and firefighting techniques.
